OBJECTIVE
We compared two hypotheses as to why obesity is associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI): (1) obesity increases demand on the continence system (e.g. higher cough pressure) and (2) obesity compromises urethral function and urethrovaginal support.
METHODS
A secondary analysis was
OBJECTIVE
SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence) results from sudden increases in intravesical peak pressures exceeding urethral resistance leading to involuntary urine loss. Obesity and smoking are well established reversible risk factors for SUI and may alter intravesical peak pressures. BMI, smoking
Chronic cough management is challenging as this condition is often associated with multiple comorbidities, requiring a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach. Little is known about the characteristics of obese patients with chronic cough. This study aims to describe treatable traits of Background and objectives: Obesity and anxiety and/or depression are common comorbidities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For doctors treating COPD, cough has a certain importance as a symptom. The purpose of this study was to figure out how obesity and
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired airway reflexes. Cough is the main airway defense mechanism but the effect of OSA on cough is unknown. Thirty-two female obese patients scheduled to undergo bariatric surgery were studied. They were classified as presenting OSA (20 patients)
With respective prevalence of 13% and 9.6%, obesity and chronic cough are two common conditions worldwide. The crucial role of obesity has been highlighted in the development and progression of many respiratory diseases. According to the results of epidemiological studies, obesity, particularly
BACKGROUND
The presence of lipids in alveolar macrophages (AMs) may impair their phagocytic response, and determine airway inflammation and obstruction.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the factors such as severity of asthma, chronic cough, airway inflammation and obesity that may influence the presence of
BACKGROUND
Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness, associated with loss of postural tone, with spontaneous return to baseline neurologic function. Syncope is a common complaint in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVE
Cough syncope occurs immediately after coughing. Cough syncope rapidly
Violent or sustained cough can be associated with serious musculoskeletal complications. We report a case of a cough-induced internal oblique hematoma in an obese 73-year-old woman who was not receiving antithrombotic therapy. She had no history of trauma and presented with acute worsening pain in
Massive hemothorax resulting from cough-induced rib fracture is a condition in which blood accumulates in the chest, compromising the lungs and mediastinal structures. The most common cause of massive hemothorax is acute pro-traumatic injury. We present a case of a 47-year-old gentleman with morbid
Little is known of the long-term symptom profile in uncontrolled asthma and whether symptoms can predict distinct phenotypes. The primary objective of these analyses was to assess diurnal profile of cough and wheeze in an uncontrolled asthma population. Secondary outcomes were to examine how these
Psychogenic cough is a barking or honking cough, which is persistent and disruptive to normal activity. The cough may be a debilitating condition that interferes with work and social relationships. Although the frequency of this condition is low, it is not rare. The majority of cases reported
The paper is concerned with pathogenetic mechanisms of cough syncope, its diagnosis, evaluation of working ability in this disease. Obesity plays a substantial role in the onset of cough syncope. The severity of pulmonary insufficiency or hypotonic dyskinesia of the tracheobronchial free are not
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with nocturnal, productive and dry cough among young adults in Nigeria.
METHODS
We evaluated 498 subjects, 20-44 years of age, in Ilorin, Nigeria, using the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) questionnaire,
